I could write same book

He describes trigeminal neuralgia pain exactly. I know the severe pain only last 2 or 3 mins but it feels like 10 and I have given birth naturally twice doesn't come close to describing the pain in my face.

Very Easy and understanding book

I suffer with TN as well ..this book is easy to read no garble... its straightforward writing .
I wish GPs have more understanding of TN instead of just dishing out medication like sweets .
